My name is Kagerou Imaizumi, and I am a werewolf. I usually live peacefully in the bamboo forest... So please don't exterminate me!
Introduction
There's a game tournament at Kourindou today! *humming* ...Whoa?! A human suddenly appeared out of nowhere! Are you here to exterminate me? You're not? That's a relief. I was so surprised that my ears still haven't stopped twitching. I-It's OK. They'll calm down soon. Kourindou gets a lot of human customers, so I really need to get used to humans already... Oh, I know. Would you like to participate in the tournament? My name is Kagerou Imaizumi. I'm a werewolf.
Purple Heart
I can't just keep relying on my friends all the time.
Blue Heart
I'm not very strong, so I'm not sure if I'd be any good at resolving incidents.
Green Heart
Did you grow up in the mountains? We make a pretty good pair! Although you're not that strong, you've got quite a lot of endurance.
Orange Heart
If you're my buddy, then I might be able to help resolve this incident. I get anxious when I'm alone, but I won't have to worry with a buddy by my side. Oh, but I'd like to take the night off whenever the moon is full...
Pink Heart
I feel like I can move around better when you give me instructions. Maybe it's the wolf blood in me since they live in a pack... I can kind of feel the hidden potential inside me! I want to keep investigating the incident like this for the time being!
Summer
It's so hot, but I can't wear short sleeves or sleeveless tops...! Those shrine maidens don't look hot at all!

Home 1
I honestly don't want to talk about how I get all hairy on nights of the full moon... Because I hate it.
Home 2
I keep in frequent contact with Wakasagihime and Sekibanki. Yes, we're best friends. We live in completely different places, but for some reason, we get on really well with each other!
Home 3
Have I told you about how I almost ran into the school teacher in the bamboo forest on the night of the full moon? I thought it might get awkward, so I hid.

Are you looking at my ears? They're nice, aren't they?
Reaction 2
I won't let you touch my tail because it's very important.

You want to talk? OK, let's talk!

Character Information
Temperament: Mangetsu
Mangetsu (a Touhou LW original) refers to a full moon, which occurs when the ecliptic longitudes of the sun and moon differ by one hundred and eighty degrees. This is an apt temperament for Kagerou, as she is a werewolf. Kagerou is endowed with Wood Phase as a wolf youkai, and Moon Essence for her transformational nature.
The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood.
The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of transforming into a wolf on the night of the full moon
Kagerou Imaizumi's ability as a werewolf. This ability changes her appearance into a wolf on the night of the full moon.
Since she transforms into a wolf when using Spell Cards, that appearance is presumably her wolf form. If this is the case, her appearance with wolf ears on the top of her head may be her human form. On the other hand, the fact that she is concerned about how hairy she gets on the night of the full moon suggests that her appearance with wolf ears on the top of her head could be her wolf form. If this is true, then her human form would be a mystery. Perhaps she has a form that is no different from an ordinary human being.
Can she only transform into a wolf on the night of the full moon? And can she remain untransformed on the night of the full moon? The answers to these questions remain a mystery because no one has ever seen what she looks like right before and right after her transformation.
In addition to youkai rabbits and fairies, the bamboo forest has many youkai with a close connection to the moon. So, presumably, Kagerou must constantly demonstrate at least some magic power to protect herself and prevent other youkai from looking down on her...
Attacks
Howl
Kagerou Imaizumi's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a wolf howl. Wolves howl to signal their pack. It is said that wolves are one of the few animals other than humans that communicate with their voices. This aspect might make wolves especially susceptible to becoming youkai... but there has been no indication of any werewolves in Gensokyo other than Kagerou.
Bullets
Wolf Howl
Wolf Cry
Wolf Scream
Wolf Shout
Wolf Roar
Wolf Lamentation
Wolf Fang
Kagerou Imaizumi's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with her ferocious predator fangs. Everyone fears being bitten by a wolf because they have sharp fangs and a strong jaw. It is theorized that the Japanese word for wolf, ookami, originated from the word for a big bite or great god, which are also pronounced ookami.
Bullets
Wolf Fang
Wolf Cuspid
Wolf Tooth
Wolf Bite
Wolf Chew
Wolf Crunch
Transformation: Star Fang
Kagerou Imaizumi's Spell Card. An attack where she dashes through and bites her opponents multiple times. Hunts conducted by wolves are sometimes short, but they usually take their time to hound their prey to exhaustion before finishing them off. The wolf might be a deliberate, cunning, and composed animal.
Bullets
Energetic Wolf Fang Bullet
Running Wolf Fang Bullet
Dashing Wolf Fang Bullet
Fast-Moving Wolf Fang Bullet
Swift Wolf Fang Bullet
Lightning Speed Wolf Fang Bullet
Wolf Sign: Star Ring Pounce
Kagerou Imaizumi's Spell Card. She repeatedly pounces on her targets. Wolves may seem like tenacious hunters, but they often give up chasing their prey before they catch it. If you ever get attacked by a pack of wolves, you should be able to escape as long as you keep running. That is if you keep running for... seven hours straight.
Bullets
Wolf Attack
Wolf Raid
Wolf Assault
Wolf Night Assault
Wolf Onslaught
Wolf Blitz
Legend of the Starving Wolf
Kagerou Imaizumi's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She strikes forcefully from a great height with momentum. Since long ago, people who turn into animals have been regarded as demonic beings, like transforming witches or devilish vampires. However, some believe that they were people afflicted with a strange illness or a group of people who were forced to become wild brigands through discrimination.
One of the reasons why such beings have become widely known in modern times is that werewolves and vampires have become a kind of silver screen sensation. The nature of these monsters changed little by little as they gained fame through the cinema and were depicted in various other forms of entertainment, but they always remained a topic of conversation. Everyone knows about werewolves and vampires, and they are very popular, but few people truly believe that they exist.
